[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I didn't intend to go into detail on my personal history during an interview, but am also not comfortable with lying and don't really know a socially acceptable way to explain myself.

Another unfortunate part of my life experience is.. I'm sort of socially awkward. I think in more of a cute way than a creepy way, but it's hard for me to really know what to say in social situations.. so no, I don't have hardly any friends and no one with kids or any teachers I've gotten close to. I'm working on becoming less isolated but so far have really nailed the 'quiet, studious student' bit.[/quote]

Mom Boss here. What you need is for somebody to help you with practice interviews. Go to your adviser (you have one - poke around at school to find out who it is) and say that you need help with readying yourself to get a job. Your college should have a job placement office where they can help you with resumes, interviews, etc. Ask if there is a daycare center on campus and if so, go ask them what you need to do to volunteer or work there.

Your response for why you have no work experience is "I was not being raised to seek employment, but have come to the realization that wasn't in my best interests. I'm trying to make up for lost time now." or something like that. OP, when you get a job, get a contract. Don't be one of those schmucks who is so grateful to have landed a job that they don't insist on a contract and get taken advantage of. [/quote]
